- Sleep Disorder Support
The treatment of sleep disorders is the perfect example of naturopathy’s power and grace. You see, most sleep problems are actually symptoms of a greater malady (although there are exceptions to this). In these cases, treating just the inability to sleep is only a temporary and superficial treatment. As a naturopath, I will provide quick fixes to sleep problems – but that is only the beginning of my work.
If you read my short e-book The Nature of Naturopathic Medicine , you’ll find a list of many naturopathic principles. Among them, you will see this:
- "Always aim to deal with the cause of an illness, rather than the symptoms."
While symptom control has its place, we always want to trace back the illness to its source. True wellness is not just the absence of symptoms, but rather a body that is acting as it is designed to. We aim to make patients both comfortable and truly well, in mind, body, and spirit. We won’t put a band-aid on a bullet wound. Prevention plays a large role in this as well. Preventing disease deals with the cause of the disease—not just the infection, for instance, but the conditions that allowed the infection to occur. This mindset gets to the root of illness.”
Relying solely on sleep aids to dull the symptom of insomnia will sometimes help the body to find its equilibrium again. But it can also be akin to endlessly bailing water from a sinking boat rather than patching the hole in the hull. My goal is to find the damage – however hidden and illusive – and help you repair it naturally. This is the way to long-term sustainable wellness, rather than a lifetime reliance on potentially dangerous sleep medicines.
All it takes is a practitioner willing to take the time and energy to get to know you and trace your trouble to its source, and then to have the finesse to repair the problem with care and attention. And that’s precisely what I can and will do for you – not just with your sleep troubles, but with any physical, mental, or spiritual discomfort you are experiencing.
Don’t let sleep troubles rule your life. Let me help you find the source of your restlessness and provide you with one of my many natural therapies. Sleep troubles are great candidates for distance treatment . You may also find a first line of defence at our Mindivine store (click link for more details).
